The Federal Home Loan Bank Board placed Cal America Savings & Loan of Walnut Creek in receivership on Friday because it believed the S&L; to be in “unsafe and unsound condition to transact business.”
Cal America Savings has $414 million in assets, five branches in the San Francisco Bay Area and one loan production office in Anaheim. It will remain open with a new federal charter and new management provided by Bay View Federal Savings & Loan in San Mateo, regulators said.
According to a statement from the bank board, Cal America used high-cost savings, known as brokered deposits, to fund loans “characterized by imprudent lending practices and deficient appraisals.”
